Slipping in 4x4 low
I recently bought a 2000 Cherokee Classic, and have just noticed what
feels like slipping when I am in 4x4 low. I get to about 5-10kmh, and I
hear/feel a clunk, like the gear is engaging. It is repeatable when I
come to complete stop and accelerate up again. Any ideas?
TIA

Re: Slipping in 4x4 low
A u-joint going bad will cause symptoms like that.
So can a bad engine or tranny mount.
If your driveshafts have slip joints in them, a lack of grease there can
also cause it.
A control arm bushing gone bad also.
A few ideas for you.

You're not by any chance feeling/hearing those symptoms while you are
driving on pavement are you?

Yes, it's on dry pavement. I first noticed what felt like binding in
the rear, as I was stuck in a very long traffic jam (45 minutes of
inching forward around a bend, up on a curved roadway), that would
disappear as I shifted out of low (1-2 Automatic Transmission), into
neutral. It went away as the road flattened out, but we decided to
check all the gears, and that's when this was noticed. I never noticed
it on the last 98 Cherokee Sport I had.
Thanks for your help.
